Time and time again...we are reminded that although our circumstances may point in one way...we need not fret, we need not fear. When we realize completely that we are in Him...that we belong to Jesus, that He lives in our heart, we don't need to panic. Though storms may come, and barren valleys appear never ending...we can walk upright and confidently rest in our Savior. We don't need to react, we don't need to fear, we can rest. Matthew 8:26, after the disciples were terrified by the storm on the sea, they awoke Jesus to save them. Yes, Jesus was on the boat and asleep-not exactly a picture of one worrying or about to be killed by a violent wreck. Jesus was in the boat and in the storm, and as a human being He obviously had human feelings, yet there was more going on, He was in fellowship with his Heavenly Father, so He was experiencing more than the howling winds and the thunder, He was in His Fathers care. We know He exhorted his disciples to have more faith and rebuked the winds and calmed the storm yet, let's look at our own life for a minute. What storm are we going through? What impending crisis looms? What desperate situation do we find ourselves in? Jesus was in His Father's care during the storm. We too can be in our Father's care. When you were a child and your dad was with you did you ever worry? We knew nobody could harm us or hurt us if dad was around. We rested. In my house my wife describes how my dogs stand on guard when I am traveling, and my kids get more anxious...there is a different feeling in the home yet, when I am home the dogs sleep for days and the kids are better. Tonight we can rest in our daddy's care. We can have peace in the midst of the storm. Call out to Jesus, He is our refuge and our hiding place. Thanks for letting me share. Randy Young
